Comment: This species is said to be invasive and synanthropic.[1] Your average reader might be able to work out what you mean by invasive, but "synanthropic" means nothing to most people. A simple sentence that states what is meant is needed. Amandajm (talk) 05:15, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The source states "The widespread Asian Herennia multipuncta (Doleschall) ... is synanthropic and invasive, whereas the other 10 species [in the genus] are narrowly distributed Australasian island endemics." I did not have access to the full article so am unsure precisely what was being referred to here so I didn't like to elaborate. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:05, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
